AGOL Feature Service Export – show Status Indicator for File Geodatabase Exports

L77 — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 17:28:25 GMT

When exporting a large feature service with many attachments to a file geodatabase in ArcGIS Online, there’s no indication of progress or estimated time remaining.

After about 15 minutes, I’m unsure whether the export is still processing or has stalled.

It would be great if the pop-up window for the Export to file geodatabase showed an export status.

Ideally it would show a percentage, or a time elapsed, but even if it said, "still processing" that would be helpful too.

I agree this would be very beneficial! Seeing a sort of progress bar or percentage complete would be nice!

This would also be good for ArcGIS Enterprise as well!

@L77
I run a script in a notebook in Pro to export to FGDB with attachments and download to local storage.
Gut feel is that it runs much faster.

You can do a batch of datasets instead of one at a time.

It is set to delete the AGOL FGDB after download to reduce credits usage.

@RTPL_AU I do that too for my weekly backups, but for one off downloads I use AGOL.

A friend helped me write the script to do my weekly backups in notepad, it isn't something I could have figured out on my own. So I think for average users it would be good for it to show a status in AGOL.
